Anniversary Spotlight - Mike DeJong

Anniversary Spotlight
Mike DeJong
Customer Service Manager


Village Automotive Group is celebrating Mike DeJong’s 10th year of service with Lexus of Wayzata.

Mike began his career at Village Chevrolet as a Service Advisor in 2006. Since then he pursued his career goals with Village Automotive Group when he was transferred from Village Chevrolet to Lexus of Wayzata in June of 2011 as a Service Consultant.  In January of 2014, he was promoted to Customer Service Sales Manager, which he remains in today.

When describing the culture of Village Automotive Group, Mike says, “They will reward you for your hard work.”  Mike believes employees and managers are very connected and says he enjoys being able to talk to any of the employees, even those outside of his team, because of the shared philosophy, “We are all here to help our guests.”

There have been a variety of training opportunities during Mike’s career. He has found that the Chicago hands-on training with Lexus has been very helpful. Mike’s favorite event was when the General Manager took his team to Lord Fletcher’s for a, “Nice dinner and great comradery with fellow coworkers where all enjoyed a great conversation.”

Most days, Mike arrives to Lexus of Wayzata at 6:30am. He starts the day by preparing the write-up area. In short, his day is spent assisting guests and the Advisor team with questions providing guidance in supporting the Advisor team so they can provide the Lexus experience. He also assists the Call Center team when questions arise. His favorite part of the day is helping guests. Mike encourages others to apply at villageautomoivegroup.com/careers because he says, “If you want to be able to take care of a guest, this is the place to work.”

Village Automotive Group thanks Mike for his years of service and looks forward to his future with us.

  4. Management of corporate events NYC comprised of the study of the complexities of brands, identifying target audience, creating event concepts, and planning the logistics. As a matter of fact, event management is pretty important these days.
